Your homepage, newt tab, and search provider tools might be replaced with Search.moccini.com if you download Moccini, a widget that is meant to provide you with beneficial services. Moccini.com represents this app as a widget that provides search and content sharing services, and we have found that it makes it easier for users to access facebook.com, youtube.com, and twitter.com. The links to these sites become available from the Desktop, where a launcher of the suspicious app is created. We have also found that this app is available from the Chrome web store, and it is represented as part of the “Codeset package” (Codeset is the developer). Two separate extensions (NT and DS versions) are available for downloading from chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/moccini-nt/ofccobloghdbgehedhcbibjjcpoonplc and chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/moccini-ds/klbhebjgnbigjgeihbgifdhggnhljolo. Some users are also introduced to this software via third-party installers. No matter which method of installation you have used, there are several reasons to delete Search.moccini.com.
We have researched Search.moccini.com to learn whether or not this search tool is reliable. If you want to do your own research – which is what we recommend doing before every install – you can start with the legal information. For example, the statement at moccini.com/Terms.html provides a lot of interesting information about the application and the search tool it is associated with it. The “Disclaimer of Warranties” statement found on this page informs us that advertising services could be included. Did you expect to see ads when using Moccini? Codeset informs that the program has no control over the content shown to you by third parties, and this should immediately pose a question whether these parties can be trusted. The problem is that we do not know who Codeset is partnered up with, which means that the content shown to you is completely unpredictable. Unfortunately, the ads shown to you along with the search results represented via Search.moccini.com could lead to unreliable or undesirable websites, which is a big reason to remove this search tool right away.
According to our research, Search.moccini.com is associated with another suspicious search provider, Search.Safefinder.com, which is often classified as a hijacker. Our researchers have also linked this search tool with Linkury and Snap.Do. All of these suspicious apps share components, which suggests that they might have been created by the same party. Can software associated with unreliable apps that do not have a good reputation be trustworthy? It is up to you to decide this, but our experience allows us to make an assumption that it is not entirely trustworthy. We have also found that Search.moccini.com could enter your operating system along with Conduit applications, and those are unpredictable as well. In general, it is a good idea to scan your operating system with a malware scanner once you discover this search tool just to make sure that unwanted programs and malicious threats have not slithered in without your notice. If they have, we advise removing them as soon as possible.
Although Search.moccini.com is not the most dangerous of all infections, and we do not even classify it as a threat, you should not underestimate it. This search tool can introduce you to ads, and it provides unknown parties with a platform to expose you to unpredictable content. If you realize that it might be risky to trust this search tool, the best thing you can do is get rid of it. If you have it active on your Internet Explorer browser, you will have to remove Search.moccini.com by uninstalling Moccini from your operating system. If you have it running on your Chrome browser, all you need to do is get rid of the undesirable extension. Once you get rid of the unwanted Codeset software, you should implement a malware scanner you can trust to inspect your operating system thoroughly. We recommend the free scanner that is available via the Download link below. Of course, the best thing to do is to install an anti-malware tool that will scan your PC, delete existing threats, and protect you all at the same time.
